Jade's POV

You're no one. Reid's words stung a bit for some reason. And to believe I thought he was going to kiss me! I doubt I would've let him though. I mean, he is the Reid Garwin that I despise so much. So why was I so upset by his words? I should be relieved! I mean I am relieved, right? I shook my head, and squeezed my eyes shut. That night had been a disaster. Well, not totally. Tyler and Casey really hit it off, and I'm glad. She deserves a Tyler in her life. Especially after her incident with that dipshit Reid.

Ugh, Reid! I was still thinking about him. Why? Its not like I like him. I sat down next to Amy and groaned, laying my head on the table. "I think I have a brain tumor." I stated, and Amy just laughed. "Seriously? You're laughing at my pain? I could die and you're laughing!"

"Thinking about Friday?" She ignored my mini rant, examining her nails.

"How'd you guess?" I asked bitterly, lifting my head from the table and turning to look at her. Ugh, I could still feel Abbott grinding up on me. Ick! Friday was just an all over suck fest. Atleast I got to hit Abbott. Reid on the other hand ditched before I could so much as respond.

"Duh, I'm a genius!" She replied. I hit her. "Well, its kinda obvious, Hun. You look like you've been hit by a truck." Ouch. Did I really look that bad?

"Gee, thanks Aimes. You look good too." I reply, pulling my hair out of it's messy pony tail and re-doing it neater. Suddenly, Amy started laughing hysterically. We were supposed to be reading to ourselves and taking notes at this point, so it was completely silent other than Amy giggling away. The whole class looked over at us confusedly. "Uh, Amy? Why are you pissing yourself laughing in the middle of English?" I whispered to Amy, who seemed to be calming down, but as soon as she did, she cracked up again.

"Its just.."She collapses into another fit of giggles, then continues shakily,"the look on Abbott's face when you elbowed him in the stomach Friday was just so priceless!" this time I join her in the laughing.

"Something you'd like to share Miss Thomas?" Nothing gets past you Mr. D! I shake my head, biting back my laughter. "How about you miss Davis?" Amy copies my gestures and, before he can speak, the bell rings. Saved by the bell, I guess. Amy and I pick up our things and walk out of the room, choking on laughter and holding on to each other for support.

We calm down and make our way to history, feeling quite a bit better. I hadn't even thought about.."Oh crap," I say out loud, spotting the infamous blonde boy ahead. We had pretty much the rest of the day's classes together. Amy looked at me, a confused expression playing across her face, until she looked forward that is and noticed Reid.

"Don't let him bother you, he's an asswipe." Amy said, using one of my favorite insult words. I smiled, and put my arm around her shoulder.

"You know what, you're right Aimes. That little dill hole doesn't deserve my time." I reply, regaining a bit of confidence. We get into class, me taking our usual seat, Amy hanging back to talk to a friend of hers. I sat there in silence not letting Reid bother me. That is until he sat in Amy's seat right next to me.

"Mind if I join?" he says, flashing me his trademark smirk.

"Fuck off, Garwin. I'm not in the mood." I didn't even glance at him as I spoke.

He scooted closer to me and slung his arm over my shoulder. "Bull shit. Everyone's in the mood for Reid Garwin."

I shook his arm off and rolled my eyes. "Excuse me for not wanting to be insulted again."

"Aww, don't be like that, Babe. I come in peace," Reid gave me a small smile, that was supposed to be reassuring or something that. He looked more mischievous than anything. Where was Amy?

"Ugh, fine. What do you want?"

"You," he replied, still smiling slightly.

"Now I'm going to have to call bullshit on that. Why don't you run along and find some one whose worth your time." I waved him off. There was no fucking way I'd fall for his crap.

"Are you still hung up on that shit? I expected more from you little Jay."

"What did you just call me?" I frowned. He smirked at my anger. Unbelievable. He was mocking me. See what I mean about the dill hole thing?

Luckily for him, the teacher spoke up at this point. "Mr. Garwin, why aren't you in your seat?" this shut the class up at once. They all stared at Reid, waiting for his reply.

"Just talking to a pretty lady, Sir." He replied. The class looked a bit shocked. Why would Reid Garwin waste his time with a girl like me? All the girls in the room, except Amy of course, shot me glares. I glared right back, there was no way in hell they'd phase me. I could beat all of those damn barbies with one hand tied behind my back. Not that they fight, I mean they might break a nail!

"Kindly take your seat Casanova," my history teacher replies, not amused at all. "And Miss Davis, back to your seat as well." Reid gets up, but not before flashing me one of his famous smirks, and takes his seat, letting Amy sit next to me. I glared at her, angry for her leaving me alone with him. Amy pretended not to notice and took her notes like a good little girl. I finally looked away, still pissed and took my notes. She left me alone with Garwin, some best friend she is.

"C'mon! You can't still be mad at me!" Amy complained at lunch the next day. To be honest, I wasn't but it was entertaining to give her the silent treatment. Plus, she kinda deserved it. She left me alone with him, and then played all innocent and such. Not to mention she seemed super psyched that Reid was, in her words, 'interested' and did an I told you so dance. The dance part was what crossed the line. How can she not see she was just being a menace?

"Hey ladies," came a smooth voice. I looked up from my food and frowned. Damn it I shoulda known. "Will I be seeing you at Nicky's tonight?"

Before could say hell no, Amy answered, "Of course." Ugh that bitch was soo not getting spoken to still. And to think I was about to give in! Traitor.

"Good, I'll see you there then," Reid smiled slightly at Amy, then at me, "And make her wear something hot." He said to Amy, winking. As soon as he left, I turned to Amy, forgetting about my vow to never speak to her again.

"What the hell did you do that for?"

"What ever do you mean?"She replied, acting all innocent.

"Oh, I think you know what I'm talking about. How could you tell him we were going to Nicky's?" I shouted, exasperated.

"Oh please, Jade. it's not like he wouldn't have seen us there anyways!" She defended herself. Then did a Reid Garwin smirk of her own. "What'll you wear?" She looked absolutely thrilled. Ugh, I was sooo going to kill her. "C'mon, you can totally ignore him, just look all hot so you can rub it in his face. It's revenge, Hun."


For some reason, I found myself walking into Nicky's, all made up Amy style. I felt ridiculous. She'd originally wanted me in a dress, but I convinced her otherwise, although I had to compromise on a skirt, heels, and a tank top thing. I pulled down my skirt a little and looked around shyly. Oh god, what was I doing? "Don't you think I'm a bit too dressed up, Aimes? I mean, I don't want Reid to think I actually like him!" I whine, grimacing at the thought.

Amy puts her hand on either of my shoulders and looks me square in the eye and says, "Do you or don't you want to get even? Besides you really oughta dress up like this more often," She let's go of me and we resume walking to a table, "you look hot!" I squint my eyes at her and she gives me an exaggerated smile in return. Did I mention I would kill her eventually?

We sit down and people watch for a bit. This was our favorite thing to do at Nicky's. This time was different though. Because, for some reason, I found myself watching the Sons. Well, one Son in particular. I'd never admit this to anybody, but Reid looked pretty cute! I mean, of course he was wearing his signature beanie and fingerless gloves, no different from usual. At this point he was over with the other guys eating, but I could tell he wanted to play pool. He'd hustle guys all the time with Tyler. They never lost, and I mean never! I suspected foul play at first, but how can you cheat when you constantly switch between stripes and solids and use different cues every time? I guess Reid was just good. So was Tyler, they made the perfect team.

"Uh, Jay? Have you been listening to anything we've been saying?" Nope. Wait, we? I turned to look at Amy and realized that Casey was sitting with her.

" Sorry, what?" I reply, hoping I can pass off my gawking at Reid as just zoning out. Casey grinned, almost knowingly and shook her head.

"You got it bad, girl."

"Huh?" Is she talking about what I think she is? What is it with her and Amy? Oh god, by this logic Reid will definitely think I like him. Crap. Amy and Casey exchange knowing glances and then smile at me like i'm a little kid.

"It's okay, Jade. There's no judgement here," Amy consoles me.

"What are we at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting?" I run a hand through my hair and smile, finding a subject changer. "So what's the deal with you and Tyler?" I ask Casey, who looks off into the distance at Tyler and smiles.

"He's so sweet. I don't know why I even considered Reid while he's around, no offense Jade," she pauses putting a hand on me. I shake it off, glaring at her while she continues. "I don't know if he likes me, but I'm sure falling for- oh my god, here he comes!" We all shut up and act normal as Tyler approaches. He smiles slightly and looks awkward, so I jump in to break the ice.

"Speak of the devil. Ty we were just talking about you!" Casey looks horrified, so I clear it up a bit, "Well, I mean about how you 're beating me in Calculus." Tyler smiles politely then turns to Casey.

"Could I speak to you for a second?" He asks shyly.

"Of course! I-I mean sure," Casey gets up from her seat and follows Tyler to a spot a little bit away from us. Amy and I watch them talk and we see Casey's face light up, along with Tyler's and then he kisses her on the cheek(!) before leaving to go play pool with Reid. Oh this had to be good. Casey walks back to our table, blushing slightly. "He's soo cute." Is her only statement.

"Spill, girl," Amy demands, so Casey explains how he asked her to go eat with him after he plays a round of pool with Reid. "Aww that's sooo cute! We're gonna need details later!"

"Hey, Case! Why don't you sleep over tonight? That way you can tell us everything and stuff. Plus I can describe my revenge in detail." Casey smiles and agrees, then we discuss what we would do tonight; movies, popcorn, shit like that. Then Tyler finishes his game and he and Casey head over to the Son's table. When Reid didn't join them, I looked over to see him standing by the pool table, looking all lonely. Aww, he looked almost harmless like that. That's when I decide, on an impulse, to keep him company. Crazy, huh?

"Hey," I say, stand in next to him. God these heels were killing me. I didn't realize how bad they hurt while I was sitting. Reid looks over at me, his blank expression replaced with a smirk.

"Couldn't stay away, huh?" He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively while he spoke. So much for harmless.

"Oh yes, you're just so irresistible." I roll my eyes at him. "Forget it, I'll just go". I turn to leave but he grabbed my arm.

"Stay." he says and for a moment I look into his eyes and notice, really for the first time, how pretty they were. He looked serious for once, almost intense. Then he let go abruptly and turned away, smirking slightly. "Plus, I need a little eye candy while I'm playing."

I frowned and put my hand on my hip. "Charming as ever I see," then I lean down and take off my heels, immediately feeling better. "Much better, now I can properly watch you lose in pool." Reid frowns at me and I smile sweetly back, then he shakes his head, setting up for another game.

"Hey Abbott! Care to lose to me again?" Reid said as Aaron Abbott approached.

"I don't intend to lose. Whose the cheerleader?" Abbott replied looking me up and down. Then he smiled, all douche-like and walked up to me. "Hey babe, care to watch me whip your boyfriend's ass?" He placed his hands on my hips and tried to pull me in closer to him.

I shoved his hands off and back up a step before replying. "Are you stupid, or just a complete jack ass? Because last time you put your hands on me, you got an elbow in the stomach. Now I suggest you leave me the fuck alone, otherwise this time you'll get a knee in the groin." Abbott ignored my rant and took a step towards me, grinning. Reid suddenly stepped in, pulling Abbott back and holding his shirt, forcing him to face him.

"I believe the lady just told you to fuck off." Reid hissed and then shoved Abbott in the other direction. Abbott regained his balance and punched Reid in the face.

"Hey, there's no fighting in here! Take it outside," Nicky intervened, pointing to the door, base ball bat in hand. Abbott and Reid and headed for the door, me following behind them.

"Reid! Stop, he's not worth it!"I shouted, trying to get Reid to see reason. Reid looked as if he didn't even hear me, so I placed my hand on him, causing him to tense up. "Reid." he shook my hand off and walked over to Abbott, pushing his sleeves up his arm.

"I think I'm gonna enjoy this,"Reid said, before lunging at Abbott. Oh god, I hate fights! Maybe if i yell at them enough they'll stop? I tried my hardest to reason with them, but neither would listen. I reached into the fight, and pulled Reid towards Nicky's. "Stay outta this, Jade." He snarled, fighting my hold on him. So I did the only thing I could think of. I grabbed him by the collar and kissed him.
